ATOMIZER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 12, 1916.

Application filed .iune 3,1915. Serial No. 31,881.

0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RAY HUGH. OALL XN, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Trenton, in the county of Grundy and State ofMissouri, have invented a new and Improved Atomizer, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to atomizers for perfumery and the like, and theinvention more particularly relates to a stopper, supporting atomizingmeans, and adapted to constitute a closure for an ordinary bottleadapted to in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section of an atomizer embodying myinvention, part being broken away; Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevationof a different form of nozzle cap from that shown in Fig. 1.

In carrying out my invention in practice in accordance with theillustrated example, a stopper 10 of cork, or other resilient material,is made of tapering form whereby to tightly close the neck of a bottle Aof known form. Extending vertically through the stopper i0 is adischarge tube 11, the lower end of which below the stopper 10 is ofsuch a, length that it will lie close to the bottom of a bottle in whichit is inserted. The said discharge tube 11 is made of bendable metal sothat the lower end thereof may be bent to accommodate the device tobottles of different height. In the stopper 10 around the discharge tube11 is a suitable bushing or cylindrical packing 12.

The discharge tube 11 is formed upon or secured to a c p plate 13 whichis applied to the top of the stopper 10, and has a discharge passage 14extending therethrough continuous with the discharge tube 11.

To atomize or spray the liquid contents of the bottle A, I employ an airpump of the cylinder and piston type, owing to its durability. The airpump is supported on the cap plate 13 of the stopper, the cylinder 15having a threaded connection at its forward end with a boss 13 on thecap plate 13. A

pistonlG in the cylinder 15 is adapted to be.

manually pressed forward against the tension of the spring 17 in thesaid cylinder beneath the piston. The outlet of the pump is continuedthrough the. cap plate 13, the latter having a passage 18 to constitutesaid continuation of the pump outlet.

It will be seen from Fig. 1, that the terminal 14 of the dischargepassage 14: of the tube 11, extends beyond the terminal 18 of the pumpoutlet 18, and said discharge 14 is deflected laterally in front of theterminal 18 and substantially in line with the latter,

so that air discharged under pressure at 18 will serve to eject theliquid contents of the bottle A at the deflected terminal 1? and'atomize said c'ontents.

Over the terminals 14*, 18 a nozzle cap 19 is revolubly secured. Thesaid cap nozzle is dome-shaped and has a threaded engagement with a boss20 on the cap plate 13,there being a central discharge orifice '19 inthe nozzle cap approximately in line with the terminals 14, 18.

In Fig. 2 is a nozzle cap in which an extended stem 19 rises from a base19 adapted to engage the threaded boss 20, as a substitute for the cap19, the said stem having an orifice 19 corresponding substantially withthe orifice 19.

7 Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:

In an atomizer, a stop er adapted to close a bottle containing a liq idto be atomized,

a cap .plate supported on the stopper and formed with a lateralextension at one side of and projecting beyond the stopper, a dischargetube extending through the stopper, said cap plate having apassageforming a continuation of said discharge tube, the cap being furthermoreformed at the upper side With a laterally bent integral protuberancethrough which said passage extends, and an air pump supported on the capplate and connected With the lateral extension thereof, said cap platehaving a lateral passage extending through the lateral extension thereofand communicating with the pump outlet, said passage curving upwardlythrough said protuberance beneath the end 13 of the first passage.

In testimony whereof I have subscribed my name to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.

RAY HUGH CALLAN.
